Happy Friday! Often on Fridays, I share refreshed versions of some of my patterns by recoloring them in new fabrics. Sometimes I feature a specific pattern and sometimes I feature a specific fabric collection. Today, I'm going to do something a little bit different and share a little about how I create those refreshed mockups.

I use Electric Quilt 8, also known as EQ8, by the Electric Quilt Company. I use EQ8 to design all of my patterns and I use it to recolor those patterns in lots of different fabric collections.
I've actually used EQ8 (well, it was EQ7 back then) long before I ever thought about designing my own patterns. I had a ton of fun recreating other designers' quilts using the instructions in their patterns and then trying out different fabrics. Unless I was using the same fabric as the pattern cover, I almost never made a quilt without "making" it in EQ8 first.
While I enjoy sharing my refreshed patterns in other fabrics every now and then, you might want to try out your own fabric ideas before jumping into making one of my patterns.
With EQ8, you can try out almost any fabrics you'd like!
